Butyloctyl Salicylate
Butyloctyl Salicylate (CAS 190085-41-7; INCI name: Butyloctyl Salicylate) is a synthetic, oil-soluble salicylate ester (C19H30O3; molecular weight 306.4 g/mol; EC 431-090-3).In cosmetics and personal-care formulations it is used principally as an emollient and formulation solvent; its presence in sun-care products does not make it a UV-filter active.
The ingredient can contribute slip and spreadability, help carry compatible oil-soluble materials, and support dispersion of pigments or mineral powders in suitable oil phases. It is a formulation ingredient, not a drug or nutritional ingredient, and no treatment or health benefit is implied. Actual performance and suitability depend on grade and the full formulation. Confirm supplier specifications, compatibility, and applicable local requirements for the intended finished product; do not infer an approved use or permitted concentration from the ingredient name alone.
– Emollient and sensory modifier: Use in creams, lotions, and other suitable personal-care products where an oil-soluble emollient is desired. It may contribute a smoother, less greasy skin feel and improve spreadability. Confirm the supplied grade and assess sensory performance in the complete formulation; no therapeutic skin effect is implied.
– Formulation solvent and carrier: It can serve as an oil-phase solvent or carrier for compatible lipophilic ingredients. Check miscibility, stability, and compatibility with the other ingredients and packaging in the intended system. Set use levels based on supplier documentation and formulation testing rather than assuming a universal recommendation.
– Sun-care formulations: Butyloctyl Salicylate is used as an emollient, solvent, or formulation aid in some sun-care products and may support the performance of a finished formula. It is not, by identity alone, a sunscreen active or a substitute for authorized UV filters. Any SPF/UVA claim must be established for the finished product under applicable requirements.
– Pigment and mineral dispersion: In appropriate oil-containing cosmetics, it may assist wetting or dispersion of compatible pigments or mineral powders such as titanium dioxide or zinc oxide. Confirm the specific grade, dispersion quality, and formula stability; do not infer that the ingredient itself provides UV protection or that a particular application is approved in every jurisdiction.
